FOR GOVERNOR: JOSEPH E. BROWN, c THE POSITION IN FE0NT- The position of affairs in front is assum- ing a most grave and serious aspect. From the close proximity of the two armies, a bat tle is iminent—a battle which must prove in its results the most glorious or the most dis astrous which our Confederacy has yet met with. Roseeran : , with a boldness never betore attempted by any Yankee General, has cross ed a heavy column ot infantry across the Tennessee at Bridgeport, and turning the chain of mountains by Will’s Valley .between Lookout and Racoon mountain?, is march ing on Georgia in the direction of Rome.— In the meantime, Gen. Bragg’s army is on the move also, he having anticipated Rosy’s movement and sent a division in advance of him, through Will’s Valley, thus flanking and checking his right wing, while all our forces are concentrating in that direction, the enemy being Between our forces and the Tennesse river, while a corps of our army was previously on its march to Rome, in Broomtown Valley, in the vicinity of La- Fayettc, Walker county, Ga., which is 38 miles north of Rome. KGen. Buckner, who commands our right wing, has gradually fallen back from Char leston and Cleveland, as our‘special dis patches from “200” inform us, in order to be within striking distance,Jaud.to concen trate with Gen. Bragg, thus abandoning temporarily all of East Tennessee. Col. Scott’s brigade of cavalry fell back 1o Cleve land yesterday morning, according to pro gramme, after burning the bridge over the Hiwassee at Charleston. All the stores were safely removed from Charleston to Dalton. . The enemy, to conceal the movement of liia right wing,' has kept up a demonstration in front of Chattanooga, and unmasked some batteries, which opened last Monday on the town, which was shelled with great er severity than at any time previous. Da ring Monday afternoon heavy firing was heard m the direction of Little Wills Valley, which it was said originated from an en-. gagement with the enemy by Wheeler’s cav alry supported by Gen. Cleburn’s division. That night, Gen. Bragg having completed his arrangements, evacuated Chattanooga, pushing his army by tw T o routes towards Rome. It is anticipator that a battle will be commenced to-day. Col. Campbell Wallace, President of the E. Ten. & Ga. Railroad, through his indom itable und indefatigable exertions, has re moved safely to Dalton all the machinery and rolling stock of the road, not having lost even a screw—the locomotive and four Tfld cars, captured by the enemy at Knox ville, belonged to the E. Ten. & Va. Road. He arrived in this city this morning, to ob tain the aid of the Georgia State Road to assist him in removing his stock from Dal ton, and it is to’be hoped he will meet with that generous success, which his exertions deserve. it is not to be concluded that great alarm and agitation exists in the surrounding country by our late military movements and the near approach of the Yankees. But our people must understand that the with drawal of our military stores and machine ry from Knoxville and other points in East Tennessee is but a precautionary measure. The strategical movements of our army are of course a mystery to all outsiders as they most properly should be, but we have au abiding faith and confidence in the present operations of Gen. Bragg, and have the strongest assurances that we must be victo rious in the outcome. There is no danger to be apprehended on 7 he line of our right wing, though many persons are moving from sections of E. Ten nessee to, Georgia, for fear of the enemy’s raids. There are a thousand reports and rumors afloat, entitled to no confidence. The best advice we can give to our people, is to keep up a stout heart, be full of hope, and trust to Providence, while they must rely on their own stout arms and keep their powder dry. ces, undertake to answer, without any equivocation. The first consequence of subj ugation, as distinctly stated in Mr. Whiting’s letter, is the total abolition of all State lines, and the reduction of the whole extent oi country embraced in the seceded States, to a territo rial condition, subject afterwards, to be ad mitted into the Union with such boundaries as the Northern States may designate, and such constitutions as may be acceptable to the Northern Congress, repentance and atonement having been first satisfactorily rendered for the crime of rebellion. Says Mr. Whiting in his letter, “ So far as this Government (United States) is concerned, civil war obliterates all lines of States or countries; the only lines recognized by war are the lines which separate us from a pub lic enemy.” And again, this functionary of the United States Government, holds this strong language: “If you concede State Rights to your enemies, wliat security can you have that traitors will not pass State laws which will vender the position of^the blacks intolerable, or reduce them all to slavery V” This brings us to the second scene ot the bloody drama, as proposed by Mr. Whiting, that is to be enacted in case the seceded States are subjugated, or are ad mi; ted back into the Union on their own application for reconstruction. The sine qua non of recon struction on either of the above conditions is the emancipation of all the blacks through out all the Southern States. On this point Mr. Whiting is urgent. lie reminds the so ciety to which he was writing that llie gov ernment of the United States, “in the war measures sanctioned by the President, to which he has more than once pledged his sacred honor, and which Congress has c-n forced by solemn laws, is the liberation of slaves.” He then urges that to fail to ac complish this end thoroughly and effectually woind be to break the nation’s faith with Europe, and with colored citizens and slaves in' the Union—a depth of unfathomable in famy from which he earnestly hopes they may be saved, despite whatever disasteis may befall their arms, or humiliation be in store for them. As for Gen. Hovey, who claims to repre sent the sentiments of nine-tenths of the army, his proposition forms the third and closing scene, the finale of our subjugation. It Is the partition of our lands among the Northern soldiers. We will let' hi a speak for himself, for his language is as explicit and unambiguous as it is possible for us to employ: “A word iu regard to the properly of rebels. In ray opinion they have forfeited all, and their wealth should be soused as to prevent a repetition of their crime. Their personal property should be used in defraying the ex penses of the revolution. Their slaves must be releas^HBfd liberated, and their lands, as fai as prl^TOable, divided among out^ol- diors who have nobly sustained the Go^rn- ment in the hour of its sorest trial.” These three propositions then, namely, the obliteration of all State lines and the reduction of the whole country of the se ceded States to the territorial condition; the em mcipation of all the slaves, and the partition of the lands of the South among the soldiers as rewards for their services, fill up the entire programme, which, to use a figure of speech, has been published and placed in the hands of every soldier now fighting in the Northern army. This, they will., have a light to expect, would be faithfully carried out by the North ern Government in the event of the subj uga tion of the South, and even if Lincoln and Seward had the disposition to depart in the least iota from it, of which they have never given us the slightest reason to suppose, than that army, already consolidated and thoroughly infused with those grand ideas which have served as their beacon in all their mad schemes of invasion, would have it in their power to demand that it should be carried out to the last jot and tittle of the record. We lay thiajmef statement of the designs of our enemy before the people of Georgi a, to let them see for what they are fighting and what they are fighting to avoid. THE FATE OF THE 80UTH—-WHITING’S AND HOVEY’S LETrEBS. Some of the most prominent, men at the North are discussing what is to be the fate of the South in the two events of subjuga lion or reconstruction. Two very explicit letters have been written on this subject, one by Mr. Win., Whiting,Solicitor of the Federal 'Treasury to the Union League of Philadel phia ; and the other by General Alven P. Hovey to a Democratic meeting in India-, napolis. The first of these letters is semi- 'official; the second is lordly less important, as it proceeds from the “hero of Champion Hill,” and claims to represent the opinious of nine tenths of the Yankee army. Reconstruction and subjugation, though regarded as different and distinct, are realiy one and the same thing. The proposition to reconstruct coming from the South when subjugation had been accomplished, or even when it was imminent, conld only be re garded as a hypocritical proposition, and the idea of reconstructing the Union and endowing it with thd vitality which it pos sessed in its palmiest days is fast becoming a defunct idea everywhere throughout the land. The very interesting inquiry then arises, in case of our subj agation, what terms would the North allow us t aud *it is this very question that these two important letters emanating from the highest Northern sour- THE STATE SENATE-COL. E. P. WATKINS. Mr. Editor: I have learned with much pleasure that Col. E. P. Watkins has con sented to be a candiate for the State Senate at the coming election. I am pleased because I feel confident the constituency will elect him, and that when elected will he. faithfully serve them. I base these comments and of fer these predictions upon the knowledge 1 possess of the candidate and the confidence I repose in the good judgment and discre tion of the constituency. I modestly suggest that ainoug the names spoken of lor our Senate, none are as wor thy the position as Col. Watkins. In sup port of this suggestion, I respectfully refer to the fact. 1. He is intellectually qualified for the po sition. Now, it matters not how true he maybe to our glorious cause, how gallantly he may have battled on fields of blood for bis country, how severely he may have been wounded, if he is not intellectually qualified for the office, its honors should not be be stowed upon him, nor its responsibilities en trusted to his oversight. Col. W. has alrea dy faithfully served Georgia as her Secretary of State, and his position previous to this calamitous war has clearly proven him wor thy the trust now sought to be placed in his hands. 2. He is a soldier of his country. Unlike babbling politicians who boasted the shed ding of the last drop of their blood for the Sunny South,” but who zealously avoid the shedding of the first, he gallantly entered service two years and seven months ago, aud never once abandoned the ranks until shot down while gallantly leading his regiment theSdth Ga., at the battle of Baker’s Creek! Far be it from him to abandon his post now. He reports himself a soldier for the lour. If honors are to be conferred, upon whom shall we confer them—all things being equal ?— Upon politicians who hav£ shrunk from the trials; suffering and dangers of the soldier, sleeping upon their beds of down and feast ing upon the good things of their bountiful ly supplied larders, or upon those gallant I men who have left the comforts and endear ments of home, betook them to the fields of blood, and there, mid ice and snow, storm and hunger, bravely struggled to repel the ruthless invader, who pants for the biood of our kinsmen, the disgrace of our women and children, and the pollution of our fire sides and altars - In the natural accom plishments for such high positions, Colonel \\ atkins is equal to any who oppose him, but in these latter qualifications he.infi nite- lv their superior. He is a soldier who has gallantly suffered, fought and bled for his country, aud who is willing to do so again so soon as the wound from which he suffers will permit him to return to his regiment, who are proud of their Colonel. 3. lie is a true Southern man. We have heard xfiueh of. reconstruction lately. We have heard it whispered about gentleiaen in Georgia, and in this district. We have also seen letters written after the peculiar Sew ard style—a display of words concealing important facts. But of E. P. Watkins not & whisper has been breathed derogatory to his character as a man, a soldier and a pa triot. GEORGIA. Special Corresp.mdeaca of the Intelligencer. FROM RICHMOND. Richmond, Sept. 4th, 1863. . Charleston still holds out bravely, aud Forts Sumter and Wagner, notwithstanding the demand made for their surrender, are not yet taken. The public, in this quarter is much indebted to your able correspond ent, “200,” who keeps it . promptly advised of everything of moment that transpires be tw'eeu the assailing party and Our gallaut troops. The opinion here is growing stronger every day, that Charleston is not to be cap lured aud destroyed by Lincoln’s armada during this expedition, aud that Gillmore aud Dablgreu will be shortly compelled to retire beiore the concentrated fire of our battenes, crestfallen and shorn of thei4^h rels. There is every reason to believe that sevei%l of their lauded monitors have been badly damaged, aud it is now well known that the enemy lias not yet had a practical demonstration (temporarily held in reserve) of our power to assail^ts well as defend.— When the favorable moment comes for that demonstration,the Ironsides and other boast ed vessels which are constantly brought into the foreground and paraded for our humili ation, may be penetrated through and thro’ and sent to the bottom with the speed of a thunderbolt. It is not the tallest masts aud the most proudly careering war ships, spout ing fire from their bellies, that escape the lightning vengeance of heaven. Might gives place to stronger might, especially wher^the latter is seconded by an all-powerful arm stretched out to aid it in its conquests, and the Devil recedes, howling and vanquished, belore the well aimed and death-dealing missiles.of a superior power. The aspect of the heavens this morning seems to intimate strong!y that the equinoctial gale, so de structive on our coast, is brewing, atfd may soon summon the angry elements of nature to unite with the powerful and still fierce r passions of man in sweeping from the sur face, and bringing in the depths of the ocean the whole of the enemy’s fleet. May that Unseen and Beneficent Power that main tains Right and Justice, and has thus far watched over and protected the interests and honor of these Confederate States,speed- ily send forth the winds and tempests of heaven on this important mission I understahd that Gov. Foote is out with a letter to the President, and that it is pub lished iu a letter to the Richmond Whig, have not seen it, but am inlorraed that his Ex-Excellency and Representative m the lower house of Congress from Tennessee, has ventilated himself in respect to the ad ministration of affairs in general, and the administration of President Davis in partic ular ; and that the character of the missive, while it is largely imbued with fervent pa triotism, is critical and fault-finding in res pect to the'geuerals of our army, and the incumbents of the President’s cabinet. He insinuates^ it is said, that his Excellency the President is actuated by his personal partial ities, and doe3 not rise superior to the influ ence of prejudice, in making appointments in the army, and in retainining doubtful and incompetent officers in their places. He thinks, and ventures to intimate, that the President should have called around him “ the ablest and most accomplished men which these Confederate States could fur nish, as his cabinet advisers—men of the purest morals, of the most disinterested pa triotism, of tne greatest weight of character, and of the most extended fame.” The edi tor of the Richmond Enquirer is unkind enough to imagine that Gov. Foote consid ers himself overslaughed by. not himself having received an appointment in his Ex cellency’s cabinet; but no person, who is acquainted with the disinterested philan thropy of the Governor, can, for a moment attribute his strictures on men aud things to motives of personal ambition. We might as well as well attribute such motives to the brilliant editor of the Enquirer himself who hi the same paper that contains this fling at Gov. Foote, announces to the public, apolo getically, that he “ cannot swallow the whole of the Presideul’s cabinet,” and that “Mr Benjamin would choke” him; by which announcement it is charity to believe that he intended no personal reflections, Rut re ferred only to the capacity of his own gullet. Governor Foote is a capital parliamentary pugilist. I have often admired his resources which are inexhaustible, and his fluency* which is unparallelled. But the Governor, it seems, sometimes mistakes his friends for his foes, and hitting right and left indiscrim inate^’, often deals blows on those whom he most vehemently admires, and injures the cause to which he is most devotedly attached. With a clear track before him, and a given subject, be it liberty of speech or the press, habeas corpus, or the functions of the three departments of the government, no states man can vindicate the truth, and denounce injustice, with greater eloquence and force, nor run before the wind with greater elec tric velocity. But the Governor, with alj these noble traits, is mortal, and sometimes, I fear, i3 influenced by those very partiali ties and prejudices, which it is so hard for any of us to subdue, and which we are apt to condemn with such unsparing severity in others. Hence it would be wise in the Gov ernor to allow the President, who is omnis in illis, to make his own appointments in his own way, and, as the State of Tennessee bus honored itself, and honored him, by send ing him to Congress to aid his peers in fram ing laws for our new Confederacy, under circumstances that call into exercise the highest powers of our most gifted statesmen^ to confine himself, as far as practicable, to that most responsible function. The premature cool weather, which we have lately enjoyed, after the enervating heats of summer, seems to have wonderfully braced up the intellectual energies of our great men in various parts of the country. In the present momentous crisis of the Con federacy, their recovered vigor, stimulated, it seems, by the inspirations ot patriotism, must have some kind of vent, and the press and the people are certainly greatly indebted to them for seizing the earliest opportunity , to unburthen their minds of the weighty opinions they entertain en the subjects of government, war, the currency, impress ment, aud other affiliated topics, and espe cially to Messrs. Trescott, Tyler, Rives’ Foote and Toombs, for the concentrated light which, like a galaxy in the heavens they have suddenly shed upon these rccon- . dite themes. The subjects and the occasion have called them out, and they have promptly obeyed the call, and have pre sented their best and most mature thoughts and suggestions as au offering of their pa triotism. I have not yet read Mr. Toombs’ jitter to the Editor of the Constitutionalist, and are consequently unprepared to express an opinion of its merits, but in times past I have been a great admirer of liis energy^ eloquence and statesmanship, aud am sorry to hear that lie has retired, like Achilles, to his tent, somewhat dissatisfied with public life. The intellectual and patriotic element in our Confederacy that earnestly demands an opportunity for development should not be confined to the channel of the press alone.— Tht statesmen should be heard by word of mouth. After engaging a long respite, jhe Congressional mind is refreshed and ready for action, and there seems to be an unanb mous call, both from the people and the press, for an extra session of Congress, to be convened as soon as possible. It is thought by many that in consequence of this expres sion of public sentiment, and the exigencies of the country, the President will think pro per to convoke the Confederate Legislature to meet an early day.*- The state of the cur reucy imperiously demands prompt congres si^al action, and, as I informed you in It—e letter, another subject requires action quite as prompt and instantaneous. I al lude to the fact that Congress adjourned, at its last session, without making adequate provision for the support of the civil depart ments of the Government; in consequence of which, incumbents in office are, in the present depreciated state of the currency without the means of living, being reduced Dearly to thepoidt of starvation. Humanity as well as justice, and, not less so, public opin ion, demand that if we are to have a gov ernment, its officers should at least be sup plied, even in a time of war, with the neces saries of life, especially in a country abound ing in all kind of supplies. ince writing the above I have seen and read the letter of the Hon. Mr. Toombs, ad dressed to the editor of the Augusta Consti tutionalist, and transferred from that news paper to other of our public journals. It contains some suggestions of the greatest weight, and deserving the prompt attention of our legislative bodies, State and Confed erate. As confirmatory of the views I have myself expressed, I beg leave to cite the fol lowing passages: “That commodities will rise or fall in proportion to the increase or diminution of money, I assume a9 a fact which is incon trovertible.” This i3 the language of Mr. Ricardo, and he is supported by Adam Smith and all of the great writers and think ers on currency who have flourished within the last hundred years. The same great truth is daily pressing itself upon our ob servation, and demonstrating itself before our eyes every day. The pay of our officers and soldiers, the pay of the civil employees of the Confederate and State governments, the compensation of all, cither in military or civil life, at wages established on the old basis of a sound currency, has diminished, daily diminishing, in real exchanega- ble value, to a sum for which the actual ne_ cessaries of life cannot be purchased. They feel the misery and generally know not its law.” In conclusion, he says: “ We must act, and that quickly; the pub lic interest and public safety will no longer allow’ delay. Our present system is utterly insupportable; it is upsetting the very foun dations ot private rights, weakening daily public confidence in our cause at home and abroad, sowing dangerous discontents among the people, which are daily deepening and widening. Patriotism demands that all good men should unite to coirect these evils.” If, then, the President should not convoke Congress at this time, it is believed and ex pected by many that that honoiable bodj. will come together of its own accord, and ? knocking at the doors of the Presidential mansion, will ask permission to be allow cd to attend to the public interests, and, in times of public danger and distress, imperatively demanding the‘exercise, not only of human ity but of the highest wisdom, see to it, ne- A Deserter Shot.—The Provo st Guard have been out several times in the n eighbor- hood of late, engaged in arresting deserterlr They have gathered twenty-four, mostly in Amhert, all of whom, except two, belong to North Carolina regiments. The two except ed weflA from Amherst county. During their last hunt, a member of Capt. Kirkpat rick’s company, by the name of Leroy Sta- teD, was found concealed in the wood?, work ing at his trade as cooper. A single mem ber ot the Provost Guard tracked "him to his hiding place, and he started to run, grasping at the same time a loaded double-barrel gun and an Enfield rille. He was ordered to halt, which lie disregarded. The Guard then snapped his gun at him three times, and on the fourth attempt the piece went off, the load passing through the body of the deserter, killing him instantly. He had been absent from his company over twelve month?, and had been repeatedly fired at. At one time the Sheriff of the county emptied eve ry barrel of his pistol without hitting him, aud on another occasion a detachment of the Lexington cavalry fired several inef fectual shots at him. He had previously avowed his determination not to be taken alive. “The way of the transgressor is hard.”—Lynehburg Uepublican. SPECI AL NOTICES. PRO BONO publico; 7 , PEOPLES TICKET.

Having been announced as a candidate for the rep resentation of lliii county in the next^Legidature, Itake tills method of saying to the people that I would like to be elected. Should it be your pleasure to place me in this position, l shall vote on all questions of public in terest upon their merits alone, without regard to who favors or opposes them, according to my own conviction of du ty. X now consi Jer it the duty of every private lndividu al, as well aspubllc men, to shape his actions so as to give the grea*03 amount of aid m freeing the country from the dingers which .now environ us—to establish our complete independence and eternal separation from the fanatic 3 of the North, who seek to emancipate our slaves obliterate our State lines, annul our municipal laws, con fiscate our property, and make us and our children vas .sols for all time to come. The South has too many maimed youths, grief-3t:lcken fathers, bereaved mothers and widows and helpless or phans, ever to clasp the bloody hands of our enemies in political followship. The bare suggestion would be atk i»g too much of human nature, and is repellant to every principle of manhood. It is no time now to ask or dis pute about who brought on these troubles; whetherit was too late or too soon; the vindictive, cruel, selfishness of the Yankees as developed in the progress of the two years war, leaves us truly to regret we had not made greater preparation at an earlier day. The only alter native is to fight out of it. Hence all legislation should be so directed as to secure our triumph In arms. The army should be, must be maintained, and the wives and children of the soldlersjin the field, protected andcared for by wise and just legislation. These things will require heavy taxation. The right of producers too, and of business and commercial men should be protected against all arbitrary, vexatious and unnecessary seiz ures and improper interference. All official*, both civil and military should be held strictly to th<f discharge of the duties which come withtn their respective provinces. All offices of large patronage should occasionally change hands, for where one man retains power and controls it too long, abuses tnd corruption are sure to creep in, and cannot be discovered or remedied as long as those concerned keep the key to their own secrets. As appli cable to this view of the subjeetthe State Railroad,the extraordinary increase of executive patronage arising from the organization of a State army with the numer ous regiments for Confederate service require the serious consideration of the people who are opposed to the one man power which is over dangerous to republics, think a little airing and srubbing up of the Executive mansion once in four years at least would contribute largely to the health and well-being of the body politic. Therefore, I shall not vo:e for the present incumbent but shall cast my vote for Governor for one of the p:h candidates that I think m st likely to carry out such measures as will secure cur independence and best in terests. I belong to no party or clique, but propose to “tote my own skillet,” and do not intend by arty combination to be impliedly or otherwise bound, if elected, to vote for or.again3t any measure because it Is a party meas ure. This policy has been one of the greatest curses to to the country. I go free or not at all I shall enter into no bitter contest for the office.
